8 Muslim states blame Israel for mosque arson attacks
- On Thursday, ministers from eight Muslim-majority countries issued a joint statement holding Israel responsible for arson attacks on two mosques in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
- Israeli settlers set fire to mosques in the West Bank villages of Jiljiliya and Mazari an-Nubani on Wednesday, with graffiti in Hebrew reading "vengeance" and "Hi, from the Hilltop Youth."
- The Hilltop Youth, a group of Israelis in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, are regularly accused of violence against Palestinians to evict them from areas they seek to take over.
- While the Israeli military confirmed the arson and graffiti occurred, officials did not identify the perpetrators responsible for the damage in Jiljiliya and Mazari an-Nubani.
- These incidents occurred during a period of increased attacks against Palestinian communities in the Israeli-occupied West Bank since the Gaza war began in 2023 and the US-Israeli assault on Iran.
